Offside by a toenail? Not if Arsène Wenger gets his way Fifa’s global head of football development believes law is too much in favour of the defender and wants to change where it is measured from

Wenger's excellent idea is expected to be approved for a trial.

Measure offside by the position of players’ upper torsos rather than extremities like feet or hands.

Gives the attackers a bit more of an advantage. And hopefully faster VAR calls.

On the night Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, Howard was the IRN bulletin reader across commercial radio. I decided to drive in from Dorking to work with him while no-one knew how the world would react to Saddam's actions. Howie didn't miss a beat. Baghdad, Kuwait City & Riyadh. Brilliant guy.

Really sad news re Howard Hughes. Howie was such a lovely and talented guy who knew how to make news jump out of the radio. Amazing voice & superb writer. I was lucky to work with him at County Sound IRN & Network News #RIPHowardHughes
